Euro 2020 is set to be postponed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic sweeping across the globe.
Domestic football in Europe has been brought to a standstill and it's unlikely that any of the leagues will be able to resume until the summer months.
As such, Europe's main international competition will have to be put on the back burner for some time in order to fulfil the final games remaining in the 2019/20 league season.
So far, there have been several ideas as to how Euro 2020 could be re-allocated on the calendar.
One option is too simply move the tournament into the latter stages of the year, assuming the coronavirus outbreak calms down.
The other option is to move the whole competition to the summer of 2021, but it seems UEFA are not happy with that potential outcome.
As reported by David Ornstein for The Athletic, European football's governing body will demand £275m from clubs and leagues to postpone Euro 2020 by a year.
That's how much UEFA estimate the cost of a 12-month postponement to be and stakeholders will be informed of the amount at the emergency meetings being held today.
